Calculation based on date key figures in BEx

Hi Friends,
Hi Friends,
I need to creat report for sales order data, which involved the calculation based on dates.
In my cune iam having the data at the granual level with the dates as key figures. the calculation that i need to do is VTW = Actual PGI date - Customer want date.
1) whn i run the report at the granual level my VTW is working correctly. No issues.
2) when i run the report at higher levels the date fields are updated with X, as the system is unable to aggrigate the dates. The dates are at the material level in a sales order. I need to show the VTW at the sales order level (each one of the two dates are same for all the materials). So, when i run the report with out mataril at the sales order level...i wanto sea the bothe date fields in a single line and also the VTW calculated as the different between throse two dates.
3) Once we get the VTW correctly at the sales orde level. if i drill down the report for material, i want to sea both the dates in every record againest the matarial, but the VTW only aginest the first record...that is againest the sales order. I dont waht the VTW value repeated/duplicated for all the records againest the sales order,as VTW makes sence only at the Sales Order level.
Please suggest me hwo i can achive the resulsts by meeting both Point 2 and 3.
Thanks for ur help...in advance.
Thanks,
Renu

Hi..
I have the data from the extractore and in the cube as below.
SALES ORDER    ITEM                MATERIAL            DATE1                         DATE2

As VTW is need to be measued at the sales order level and we always have the DATE1 & DATE2 as same for all the itesm, it should be shon as only 14 in the first record. It mean once iget the required output from Report one in a single line with VTW as 14, it should not repeat with every line , when i dril down the report for Items or materials.
Even if i can generate oly report2 as required in a single sheet ...that will be enough.
Plas kindly provide some solution as how we can achieve this,
Thanks,

Using Explorer with Calculated Key Figures from BEx (BW 7.31 / BI 4.1)

I'm looking for suggestions on how to leverage data from calculated and restricted key figures in BEx (from a BW 7.31 system) with Business Objects Explorer (from a BI 4.1 system). Our current process involves some complicated workarounds and with the implementation of BI 4.1 and I'm hoping to streamline things a bit.
Here is what I had in mind...
An information space (indexed daily) sitting on a universe (hopefully UNX) that referred to a BEx query on a multiprovider in BW. My understanding was that universes would be able to consume BEx queries (including their restricted and calculated key figures) in 4.1. Based on a recent post (http://scn.sap.com/thread/3417905), it appears that the feature that I was hoping for may have not made it into the GA release. Obviously, I could move the calculations and restrictions into BW ETL or maybe into the universe, but since that work has already been done and lives in the queries, I'm hoping to use them! Also, we could use a different tool such as WebI, but at this point the user base is comfortable with Explorer and we would like to continue to use it.
Suggestions?
Thanks!
-S

Hi McDowell,
Regarding to the BEx connection in Explorer, SAP provide two solution
1. BWA connection
2. Unv on top of connection
For the UNV situation, you could use the calculated / restricted key figure in the system but please assgin the aggregation level for them (Database delegate is not supported if I am not wrong)
Also plese consider two points
1. Data size (UNV cannot support large data size)
2. Scheduling (Explorer does not support event trigger? correct me if I am wrong)
Best regards

Calculated Key-Figure based on Cumulated Key-Figure

Hi BW-Community,
I have problems defining a ckf based on a key-figure wich are marked as cumulated. I know this topic was discussed before
but I did not find a acceptable solution yet.
Here is my example (as it should be)
*** KF1     KF2   CKF3 (KF1 % KF2)
2            2           100%
4            2           200%
6            2           300%
And this is the Output from BW
*** KF1    KF2   CKF3 (KF1 % KF2)
2            2           100%
4            2           100%
6            2           100%
BW uses the not cumulated keyfigure-value instead of the cumulated value,
I tried several things:
1.) Use the class CL_RSR_WWW_MODIFY_TAB and redefine the method data_cell to do a manual calculation on the results. This works but
it is very inflexible and restricted on WEb Template also the Excel Integration do not work properly.
2.) Mark the CKF also as cumulated but this don't work either.
My customer uses such calculation on almost every Query and Report so I need a practicable solution.
I think the best way to solve this is in the staginf prozess, but i did not find a solution yet.
Does anybody know a workaround, solution? We will put to NW2004s soon is there any chance that this will work
in this release?
Thank you in advance
Greetings
Timo

Hi
Thank you for the replies.
I create a new CKF without percentage funktion but it didn't work. Same result as described in the first post.
Even if i put only KF1 in a new CKF (e.g.CKF2 =KF1) the uncumuated value is shouwm
Example:
*** KF1    CKF2
2           2
4           2
6           2
@ Structure
I know that using structure is possible. But we cannot use structures, because we have a dynamic amount of characteristic-values (e.g. 0calday)

Problem in Calculated Key Figure in BEx 7.0

Hi All,
In Bex 7.0
We have a requirement where we need to display a key figure which is having unit price of an Article. In our InfoProvider we have Article, Store and Date and the report is based on Article. As we have to display only the latest price we have created a RKF by putting a restrcition of the latest date in the date range on the the unit price key figure. But still unit price is getting aggregated over stores.
For example if there are 10 stores and the unit price of an article is 5, then data displayed is 50 and not 5.
We tried to create a Calculated Key Figure using the above RKF and an exception aggregation Average of all detailed value that are not zero, null or error on reference characteristic 0PLANT. Its working fine when the query is restricted to one or two Articles. But for all the articles it gives the following error messages.
1. Error while reading data; navigation is possible.
2. Error occurred during parallel processing of query 17; RC3
3. Error executing physical plan: AttributeEngine: no 6952
4. Error reading the data of infoprovider ZXMSC01$X
5. Amount of data that is to be read from the BIA server is too large
6. The following error 6952 occurred in BIA server
7. Error executing physical plan: AttributeEngine: not enough memory;BwPopMerge pop1(setIsLastMerge(1)),in executor::Executor in cube: p03_zxmsc01
Can anyone tell me the solution for the above error. Or if there is a workaround to our requirement.
Regards,
Sachin

Hi,
Could be a memory issue.
One of your cube in on BIA which is causing the Problem.
So executing the query in RSRT by selecting Do not use BIA index option.
If the query is executed with out any issue then take the cube out of BIA and push it back.
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Raghu
P.S : Also please let us know if this query is live and it is an issue that you are facing after executing it properly for few days.
Or this is a new query created and testing now and in the process got this error?

How to add unit to calculated key figures in BEx

How to add unit to BEx calculated key figures in SAP BW BEx?
I would like to add a unit to a calculated key figure in SAP BW BEx, so that it gets visible on the end user level. Currently the unit field is empty. I calculated the value from various key figures with different units and removed the units with the NODIM()-function. Is there an inverse function to NODIM() with which you can add a specific unit (like EUR or TAG).
The "How tou2026 Report Data in Alternate Units of Measure" does not seem to cover the point.
"Quantity Conversion Guide for SAP Business Intelligence" refers to the "Conversion" tab.
I suppose you have to add a conversion routine, which is 1:1 and sets the target unit defined in BEx.
Has anyone tried this? Is there a more simple solution?
OLAP-Quantity Conversion:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/27/b65c42b4e05542e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm

Hi,
if your CKF will have always same unit and you have one KF in you inforpovider with this unit, you can try to do this trick
create a new hidden CKF as new CKF = KF / KF (with this equale new CKF = 1 unit)
change your old CKF as old CKF = old CKF * new CKF
let me know if it works.

Problems with Calculated Key Figure in Bex

One of our super users have copied a query and trying to do some changes in the new query. In the Query designer, the person was directly dragging a Calculated Key Figure from the left hand side panel into columns and trying to change its properties (Currency conversion key is changed from 'Nothing Defined' to 'Monthly average rate' with variable entry.
Then we get the error 'Abort system error in program and form SET_TCUR-02-' without even getting the variable popup window.
Also when we check the Query properties, we observed that one variable entry (which is displayed in the target currency field in the properties) is displayed twice and came to know that this is the reason for the error.
But why is that displaying twice there? Is there anything wrong in the way we had created the CKF? Do you have any document on how to use CKFs and RKFs?

Condition formula variable on date key figure

Hello, I would be grateful for any help on this
I want to have a condition that has a user input formula variable
But the Key Figure on which I want to base the condition is a Date
And when you create the formula variable it allows only the following Dimensions :
Amount
Number
Price
Quantity
ie Date is not one of the allowable Dimensions - is there any way round this apart from an Exit variable ?
thanks
Jon

Hi,
You have to create a formula variable with replacement path based on the date you want.
so that you can get the date for calculation.so you can apply condition.
check the following link

Currency translation for key figure in bex not working.

Hi friends,
i want to do currency translation for key figure(invoice value in local currency).
i have followed the steps as under:
1st Transferring Global Table Contents: Currencies from R/3 Systems
2nd than transfer exchange rate - from r/3 to bi
3 than In SPRO settings of BW there is option "consider translation ratios in translation"
4th than used transaction RSCUR for creating currency translation type: parameter(exchange rate:m, soure currency fom data records, target currency ISK, time ref: current date)
5th than in BEX query designer have sated this for key figure
but when i run query in RSRT, curreny amount not getting convert?
am i missing any step?
pl. guide.
thanks dushyant.

Hi Dushyant,
Are these steps followed in Query designer??
In the Query designer, for that particular key figure property, under Conversion tab >> Currency Translation >> Conversion Type, select the currency translation type you created in RSCUR.
And in the target currency, select accordingly.
If you are going to use a variable, use the following link..

SNP PR Deletion based on another key figure

Folks,
I want to delete Purchase requisition ( Distribution receipt - Planned) in APO-SNP based on the value of another key figure.
for example if the another key figure value is 1 in a particular time bucket, then i want the PR of that bucket to be deleted.
I have designed macros incorporting this logic i.e if another key figure value is 1, then make the Purchase requisition quantity as 0.
But when i execute this macro, system gives the message " Error saving Transport requisitions to live cache" and PR quantity does not become 0.
I have also tried using RLCDEL but it is not possible to selectively delete the PR using the value of another key figure.
Is there any method ( Macro or non-macro) through which i can achieve this ? Any inputs will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Pawan.

Hi Pawan,
I assumed the macro solution should work...
A macro can create orders, so logically it should be able to delete. Unfortunately I can't test it now.
Could you please do the following?
if you delete an order manually in interactive, and refresh, what happens?
does your order come back?
If yes then the issue is not directly linked to the macro...
Then could you check in SPRO - SNP global settings, do you 'Heur: Order Update' being set to 'Delta Mode'?
If yes, then set it a "complete mode"
Thanks and Regards

Exception color can not display at another key figure in BEx query desinger

I have a report requirement, the user want to display the average price on each month ,such as:
Jan.   Feb. Mar. Apr. etc.
100    105    104   95   ....
and the user want to compare each other months with Jan's price.
they want to display the exception color when the rise or down rate greater or less than 5%.
Now ,I can only change the output structure such as:
Jan. Feb. Rate2-1                 Mar. Rate3-1                 etc.
100   105   (105-100)/100=5% 104    (104-100)/100=4% ....
Now I can set Exception on the formula Rate2-1 Rate3-1....
But the Exception color can only display on Rate2-1,Rate3-1...
and Not the Keyfigure Feb. Mar...
I am using the BI 7.0 and the new Query Designer.
Who can help me to solve this question .
Thanks.
Yours Youming.Zhao

Hi,
its simply not supported for BEx Analyzer. Exception reporting on another key figure is only possible for Web Reporting.
Check this actual SAP Help Link:

How to show filter values of restricted key figures in BEx Analyzer?

Hi,
I have following report.
                     Quantity USA        Quantity China
Product           100                        150
Quantity USA is a restricted key figure using key figure 'quantity' and a restriction on characteristic 'country' = USA
Quantity China is a restricted key figure using key figure 'quantity' and a restriction on characteristic 'country' = China
I notice that when I put only one of these resticted key figures into the query, there is a line in the filter area of the report in the BEx Analyzer that shows the characteristic 'country' and the value on which it's restricted in the restricted key figures.
E.g.:
Country          USA
                     Quantity USA
Product           100
If I put both restricted key figures in the query, this line is not shown.
Does anyone of you know how I can display this line again when using multiple restricted key figures like this in the query?
Thanks!

MDX calculation based on date logic for the Jan 1 of current year through the 15th of the previous month

Hello,
We need some help with an SSAS MDX query based on date logic. One of the problems is that I don't have access to the Cube but have been given a query example with the logic needed for the calculation. Here's the scenario;
The ETL process will run on the first Tuesday after the 15th of a given month. The Analysis Cube data queried should include the current year up to the end of the previous month. For example, on May 19th
(the first Tuesday on or after the 15th) the query should include data from January 1st through April 30th.
The 15th of the month is not part of the query, it is a factor in when the query is run. The query will always be in terms of complete months.

Conditions: Variables on date key figures

Dear Sirs,
I am trying to create a condition on a key figure of type date (subtype: dats). I want the user to select a date interval for this condition, using variables.
The problems seems to be that the variable input screen thinks the user should enter an amount and not a date. If I enter a date in the variable then no data is beeing displayed.
So how can I get the variable to understand that the input is a date ?
Has anyone done what I try to do sucessfully.

Hello Rakesh,
thanks for your input. However, I am not able to get it to work.
I create a condition on the key figure "date". I use e.g greater than. Then create a variable with replacement path to 0CALDAY, and transfer the condition.
When I run the report I get the following error.
Termination message sent
ABEND BRAIN (418): Variable VAR_20080128112329 (D2LEOFV2P3JFW0YWPGXBKJ53A) does not exist or is incorrectly used 4 D2LENS95OIB2G5DTW28S323D2
